On Halloween, a man presents a child with a bowl containing eight different pieces of candy. He tells her that she may have three pieces. How many choices does she have

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]56[/tex] choices

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we'll have to solve this problem with a permutation or a combination, but which one do we use? The answer is a combination because the order in which the child picks the candy does not matter.

To further demonstrate this, imagine I have 4 pieces of candy labeled A, B, C, and D. I could choose A, then C, then B or I could choose C, then B, then A, but in the end, I still have the same pieces, regardless of what order I pick them in. I hope that helps to understand why this problem will be solved with a combination.

Anyways, back to the solving! Remember that the combination formula is

[tex]_nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex], where n is the number of objects in the sample (the number of objects you choose from) and r is the number of objects that are to be chosen.

In this case, [tex]n=8[/tex] and [tex]r=3[/tex]. Substituting these values into the formula gives us:

[tex]_8C_3=\frac{8!}{3!5!}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1*5*4*3*2*1}[/tex] (Expand the factorials)

[tex]=\frac{8*7*6}{3*2*1}[/tex] (Cancel out [tex]5*4*3*2*1[/tex])

[tex]=\frac{8*7*6}{6}[/tex] (Evaluate denominator)

[tex]=8*7[/tex] (Cancel out [tex]6[/tex])

[tex]=56[/tex]

Therefore, the child has [tex]\bf56[/tex] different ways to pick the candies. Hope this helps!

Detroit, Michigan covers an area of 142.9 square miles. There are approximately
672,800 people living in Detroit. Grand Rapids, Michigan has an area of 45.3 square
miles and has a population of approximately 195,100 people. How many more
people, per square mile, live in Detroit verses Grand Rapids? Round to the nearest
person per square mile.

Answers

Answer:

401 more people per square mile

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many people there are per square mile in both cities by dividing the number of people by the number of square miles:

672,800/142.9

= 4708 people per square mile (Detroit)

195,100/45.3

= 4307 (Grand Rapids)

Find how many more people per square mile live in Detroit by finding the difference between these two numbers:

4708 - 4307

= 401

So, there are 401 more people per square mile living in Detroit versus Grand Rapids.

Mia walks her dog twice a day. Her evening walk is two and a half times as far as her morning walk. At the end of the week she says she walked her dog 30 miles. How long is her morning walk?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1 11/49 ≈ 1.224 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the length of the morning walk. Then the length of the evening walk is 2.5m, and the total each day is m+2.5m = 3.5m.

The total for 7 days is ...

  7(3.5m) = 30

  m = 30/24.5 = 60/49 ≈ 1.224 . . . . miles

Mia's morning walks are 1 11/49 miles, about 1.224 miles.

1) A 22-ft ladder is leaning against a building. If the base of the ladder is 6 ft from the base of the building, what is the angle of elevation of the ladder? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
2)How high does the ladder reach on the building? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answers

Answer:

21.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Part A)

About 74.2°.

Part B)

About 21 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 22 feet ladder is leaning against a building, where the base of the ladder is six feet from the base of the building.

This is shown in the diagram below (not to scale).

Part A)

We want to determine the angle of elevation of the ladder. That is, we want to find the value of θ.

Since we know the values adjacent to θ and the hypotenuse, we can use the cosine ratio. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}[/tex]

The adjacent is 6 and the hypotenuse is 22. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta = \frac{6}{22} = \frac{3}{11}[/tex]

Take the inverse cosine of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = \cos^{-1}\frac{3}{11}[/tex]

Use a calculator. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = 74.1733...\approx 74.2^\circ[/tex]

The angle of elevation is approximately 74.2°

Part B)

We want to find how high up the ladder reaches on the building. In other words, we want to find x.

Since x is opposite to θ and we know the adjacent side, we can use the tangent ratio. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}[/tex]

The opposite side is x and the adjacent side is 6. The angle θ is cos⁻¹(3/11) (we use the exact form to prevent rounding errors). Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan \left(\cos^{-1}\frac{3}{11}\right) = \frac{x}{6}[/tex]

Solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle x = 6 \tan \left(\cos^{-1}\frac{3}{11}\right)[/tex]

Use a calculator. Hence:

[tex]x = 21.1660... \approx 21\text{ feet}[/tex]

The ladder reaches about 21 feet up the building.

Since the question has specific requirements, we are going to use substitution to solve the equations.

Solve:

Given equations

y = 3x - 1

2x + 6 = y

Substitute the y value since both equations has isolated [y]

2x + 6 = 3x - 1

Add 1 on both sides

2x + 6 + 1 = 3x - 1 + 1

2x + 7 = 3x

Subtract 2x on both sides

2x + 7 - 2x = 3x - 2x

Suppose that one state’s license plates consist of 1 digit followed by 4 letters followed by 2 digits. How many such plates can the state issue?

Answers

Answer:

The state can issue 456,976,000 license plates.

Step-by-step explanation:

For digits, it is assumed that we can use 0-9. Thus, there are 10 options for each slot with a digit.

For letters, it is assumed that we can use the 26 letters of the alphabet (i.e. A through Z). Thus, there are 26 options for each slot with a letter.

For this particular problem, the slot method can be used. Assuming that repetition of letters/digits is allowed:

[tex]\frac{10}[/tex] [tex]\frac{26}[/tex] [tex]\frac{26}[/tex] [tex]\frac{26}[/tex] [tex]\frac{26}[/tex] [tex]\frac{10}[/tex] [tex]\frac{10}[/tex]

= 10*26*26*26*26*10*10

=456,976,000.

Therefore, the state can issue 456,976,000 license plates.

When Asia was young, her father marked her height on the door frame every month. He noticed that between the ages of one and three, he could predict her height (in inches) by taking her age in months, adding 75 inches, and multiplying the result by one-third.

Answers

Answer:

15 months old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m = months and h = height:

h = 1/3(m + 75) ⇔ h = 1/3m + 25
